I have little doubt that individually they are all far better than any of us at evaluating players. However, the power of the consensus is very strong. All of us are to some extent getting info and forming our opinions from ourselves, each other, and from a slew of online and media draftniks. There is a whole lot of iron sharpening iron going on. A small group of front office people and scouts will simply not be able to overcome a consensus board that is formed through the studies and opinons of hundreds of people in most cases.
